let me interject, and I hope I don't make this more complicated - and
this may not even help. I don't know anything about Gentoo so take that
into account. I use FC3/4, and the following works on FC.

ALSA is definitely preferred over OSS. You can check ALSA status with
these current handy-dandy utilities:

How to know which ALSA version is included in currently running kernel?
cat /proc/asound/version

What cards alsa knows about:
cat /proc/asound/cards

What devices alsa knows about:
cat /proc/asound/devices
cat /proc/asound/modules

alsa sound status:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound status

and, of course, try lsmod ( /sbin/lsmod) to see current modules loaded.
